Breaking And Entering Page #2

No, the structure is that before I begin

any sort of diagnosis,

I'd like to meet the parents first, alone.

Right, great.

So I'm just, uh,

finishing with Liv.

Um...

Well, I'd like to, uh, listen

to these documentaries.

I must have heard them in the past.

Uh, no, they're mostly World Service.

Liv explained that she's going

to semi-retire until Bea gets...

That's not true.

- Effectively.

- Will...

It's, it's either Bea's gymnastics,

Bea's art therapy,

Bea's music therapy,

it's a sacrifice is all I'm saying.

Liv won prizes for the work

she did, did she tell you that?

It's a big sacrifice is all I'm saying, hmm.

I was just explaining to Rosemary...

She's up all night.

...that, um, in these past few

months, that Bea's gotten worse.

- Hmm.

- Yeah.

And, uh, she's not sleeping,

and... it's intense.

Yes.

Hav-Have either of you... therapy...

have either of you considered

ever-ever thought about doing that or...?

I did see someone.

When?

For a while,

'cause I can get low sometimes.

- I just go into low...

- Wow.

Um, my father died and my mother died

- and my sister died and...

- Hmm.

It's family with a short life expectancy.

And a grandmother of 93.

And a grandmother of 93.

But some days the cup is empty

and some days its 93% full.

Were you, um, were you

brought up in Sweden or...?

Oh, my father was American,

and I went to university there.

- Uh-huh.

- Chicago.

Addicted to cold.

No.

Uh, are you concerned about Bea?

Sure, you know, but Liv is...

Liv worries so much, there's,

there's not much room... for...

You know,

but a 13-year-old girl

who collects batteries,

doesn't sleep, doesn't let us

sleep, won't eat anything,

spends all day wanting

to do somersaults, I mean,

yeah, sure, I'm concerned.

Of course I'm concerned.

Liv says that you're wrapped up in your work.

Wrapped up?

Wrapped up?

That's fair.

I love how working hard,

working really hard,

becomes wrapped up,

becomes something selfish.

I love that.

When you say that you love it,

do you mean that you don't love it?

Let's just back up.

We love Bea.

It's not a competition to see

who loves her the most.

If it were a competition,

I would happily let Liv win.

You win.

It says here your father died, your husband,

your sister.

This was where? Sarajevo?

Um, Miro and I left with the Red Cross.

My husband stayed behind and was, uh,

he stayed behind and was murdered.

You're Serbs?

My husband was Serb.

I'm Muslim.

Uh, it's complicated.

We're Bosnian,

we're all Bosnian...

It's complicated.

Do you have relatives in Britain?

My husband's family.

His brother, sisters and aunt.

Was a time when a smack around the ear

or my auntie would give me a thump.
